Identity Verification Request and Hold

I keep getting an alert that says my ID needs to be verified by 3/18/21. When I click on the alert it says everything has been verified. I just want to make sure that my ability to apply for jobs is not being impeded.

Thank you,


Ryan

Hi Ryan,

 

We’ll have one of our agents reach out to you via a support ticket to assist you with your verification process.

Hello,

I have verified myself weeks ago but still seem to get the pop up that I need to verify myself. I just got an email now that my account is suspended as I didn’t verify? This is really annoying. Can someone help
me please and solve this?

Thanks. What about my submitted proposals? Can you please resubmit them? Or
at least give my connect back?

Hello!

 

Would really appreciate if any of the admins could unhold my account?

I verified my account prior to starting any work but kept seeing the "Please verify your account" message. I thought it was just a visual bug so I ignored it seeing as this was what I was seeing on the identity verification page. (See photo below)

 

I didn't realize it would hold my account when I requested for my funds. I'm clueless as how to fix it seeing as I'm already verified and I don't think there's a way to un-verify then re-verify my account. 

 

Would really appreciate any help on this!

Hi there,

I have already successfully verified my account both visual and gov. id but I still got an email that my account has been suspended. I'm trying to reach Upwork support but I can't find a way. I'm new and this is my first private contract on Upwork. Please help me how I can solve this issue.

Hello,

 

My Account was suspended even though it says It had been verified. I think this looks like a bug. I hope you could help me fix my account. Thank you.

Hello,

 

I am relatively new to Upwork and need help.
Upon logging in today, I see that my account is temporarily suspended because I did not verify my identity. My problem is that my identity was indeed verified on March 15. What can I do to get my account back?

Hi, My Account is saying the same thing and has been suspended due to it saying I haven't verified my identitty, but I can confirm I have verified my identity, I have attached the screenshot below showing my account verification. The problem keeps occuring and send me immediate action needed when I have already completed it. 

 

Thanks Bailey.

Hi all,

 

I apologize for the frustration the recently placed hold on your account created. I'd like to confirm our team is looking into your reports and we'll provide an update as soon as possible. In the meantime,
if you haven't completed the requested verification process again feel free to re-verify or let us know here if you need further assistance. We're working with our team and each of you should see that the hold has been removed and the ID badge is displayed on your profile. Please feel free to follow up if you need help with your account/verification status.

We'll make sure to reach out to each of you with an update and issue Connects credit for proposals that might have been cancelled due to the hold placed on your account, in case the hold has been placed incorrectly.

Hello! 

I'm relatively new to Upwork so this might be an easy fix. I completed my ID verification on March 12th (it says so on my profile page), however, I got an email saying that I failed to complete it and now my account is temporarily suspended. What am I supposed to do? 

Thanks!

I'm unsure if this is where we create a support ticket. My account has been temporarily suspended because it says I need to verify my identity. All of this has been completed no later than 3/17. It also states that my financial transactions are limited. I've already entered in my information and am unclear as to where to go from here. Help!

Hi Samantha,

 

I've escalated this to our team. Rest assured that our team is working to get this resolved as soon as possible.

Hello,

 

when I log in I saw that all of the proposals already gone/ close I don't know what happens, and then I was hoping that all of the connects that I use to send to the proposal will be return but still zero no connects have returned?

hoping for an answer thank you

Hi Paulsheen,

 

I checked your account and it looks like you were previously requested to complete the ID verification process; however, you were unable to complete it. Please complete it as soon as possible by logging in to your account and going to settings. Please know that Connects are returned under the following cases:

 

  • If a project is canceled by the client without making a hire, the Connects used on that proposal will be returned to the freelancer or agency. This does not apply to expired job posts.
  • If a job post has been removed by Upwork for a Terms of Service violation, the Connects used on that proposal will be returned to the freelancer or agency.
